UPDATE: YouTube has reinstated all my channels only after my post went viral. It took them 5 months... Huge thanks to the X community for your support, and to everyone who stood by me during these months. I can’t thank you enough 🫶🥹 Special thanks to @OldMoneyLuxury and @DanielTChirwa. BUT... I’m not done -not while so many creators are still being terminated for no reason. Stay tuned!

notice how youtube always boosts your reach the second they demonetize you (yes they still run ads and pocket every cent) seeing this pattern everywhere we should start a movement - private all content the moment they demonetize you no free profits for these scummy tactics

YouTube is openly lying about its AI moderation “working normally” Over the last few months, we've seen THOUSANDS of posts trending on X, claiming wrongful channel terminations. The vast majority of creators got their channels back only after their posts went VIRAL. This shows a SEVERE issues with the content moderation system.

AI moderation at its finest. Good job YouTube! 🤖🤡

YouTube can build a whole Recap feature which no one asked for, just to show you what you watched. But they can't show terminated/demonetized creators a single timestamp of what they violated - something creators have been begging for for a decade. They have billions for new features and tech to track everything for marketing, but $0 for transparency when a creator’s livelihood is on the line. #YouTubeAIWrongedCreators Inspired by @FinalVerdictYT ❤️

This is how YouTube’s AI is destroying creators

I did what 99% of creators think is impossible - I legally defeated YouTube. How does YouTube react? They're pretending it never happened. Let me tell you a story that proves the system is designed to crush creators - even when you WIN legal case and the law is on your side 👇 ➡️ June 2024: My channel "Chase Car" (20k subs) gets demonetized for "reused content." I appeal. A HUMAN reviewer checks everything - my editing timeline, voiceovers, scripts. They email me: "This is original content, you follow all the guidelines." Monetization restored. I'm relieved. A human verified me. I'm safe now. ➡️ November 2024: I wake up to find my entire channel TERMINATED. Same content. Same videos. Different result. Reason: "Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies". Wait... what? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time. I appeal → INSTANT rejection from the AI bot. Most creators give up here. But as a European Union citizen, I have the opportunity to defend myself as a creator using European Union law. I filed a formal case with ADROIT, an official European Union certified dispute body. March 2025: Case filed. July 23, 2025: Decision arrives (attached) The verdict: ✅ "Complaint is UPHELD" ✅ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL" ✅ "YouTube failed to specify violating content" and my channel should be reinstated. An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process but could not show what I had violated. I WON. Here's where it gets terrifying - My channel is STILL terminated. I've been emailing YouTube's legal team for 4 MONTHS. Bot replies and complete silence. I never gave up; I fought fairly for my rights as a creator using the tools I had, and I won fair and square. Yet, they're acting like it never happened and the decision doesn't exist. Think about that for a moment. Even when you: ➡️ Follow every rule ➡️ Have a YouTube employee confirm that your content follows the policies ➡️ Win an official legal case ➡️ Have a documented decision that your channel should be reinstated ...YouTube's AI system just ignores you, and contacting a human is impossible. If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have? I'm not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator @CNaM_ie to force YouTube to honor the decision. But I need your help: RT this and tag @TeamYouTube . Make them respond, so they can't pretend this isn't happening. Because if they can ignore a legal ruling, no creator is safe. #YouTubeAIWrongedCreators @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeInsider

Community notes > Corporate PR

YouTube uses AI system to terminate channels - the MOST of the false terminations during the years happens in Q4 (October-December) Here's the REASON... Creators revenue is SIGNIFICANTLY higher in the fourth quarter due to a major surge in advertising spending by companies during the holiday season. When a creator is terminated -they don’t receive the money they’ve already earned. YouTube might be just ROBBING creators...

I'm devastated. A heartbreaking 💔 News for every creator. My original animation channel was terminated for "Spam/Scam" on Nov 13, despite every video being 100% created by me (modeling, rigging, animation took 2-4 days each!). ​My appeal was rejected in 5 mins. I desperately request a proper human review. My content is original, not spam. My channel is my Career but it's been terminated and destroyed wrongly. My life's work is gone, while thieves using my content stay up. 650000 subs💔 and the whole work disappeared overnight. If you are seeing this please Like, Comment and Retweet.🙏 There are many creators facing this false wrongful ban. If you are a creator please help now, You might be next💔. ​Please, @YouTubeCreators & @TeamYouTube, this is an unfair mistake. #YouTubeTerminated #YouTubeAIWrongedCreators #Animation #FairReview

Check this please @TeamYouTube

This tweet is for anyone who feels they've been falsely banned by AI moderation tools on YouTube or Meta platforms. I'm looking to collect additional cases from both normal users and content creators. These cases will be reviewed and compiled into a package that I'll present to Senate staff members. They may also be used to support any additional efforts on other fronts being led by other people. Email your case to AIBannedMe@gmail.com Please provide as much information as you reasonably can. Including examples of content, support logs, and any violations they claim that occurred (or lack there of).

False termination is not out, AI moderation is in 🤖 try to {insert termination reason & link to specific policy's help center article}

For those interested, YouTube also does racket behind the scenes, literally stealing channels with «cool» URLs/handles from creators. They don't reach out to purchase the account; they just steal your channel without notice and transfer it to companies who «pay well».

YouTube is just being YouTube. Tell me again how these are “careful” human reviews and not 100% automated

It totally shows how “careful” YouTube’s decisions are when they can’t even send a proper reply. Reminder that there are people who don’t care about creators at all.
